Who is Travis Swaggerty?
The five-foot-eleven, 180-pound centerfielder can do it all on the diamond and in the batter’s box. The lefty arrived at South Alabama undrafted out of high school, but quickly made a name for himself. In his freshman season, he slashed .303/.431/.422 with 20 stolen bases, four homers, and 49 strikeouts. Swaggerty vastly improved in his sophomore season, slashing .356/.484/.571 with 19 stolen bases, 11 home runs, and more walks (49) than Ks (45). His sophomore season earned him a spot on Team USA. However, so far this season, it seems Swaggerty is making an effort to prove his power is real.
